The Scottish Land Commission is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
Accessibility
On this page
This accessibility statement applies to the Scottish Land Commission’s website:
This website was launched in March 2026. It has been developed in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 and is designed to meet AA standards. Its most recent review was completed in March 2026.
key accessibility features
This website is run by the Scottish Land Commission. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. In addition to the site’s code being WCAG 2.2 AA compliant, users should be able to:
- change colours, contrast levels and fonts
- zoom in up to 200% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- listen to most of the website using a screen reader
We have also made the website text as clear and simple as possible to understand.
The website includes Recite Me, an accessibility toolbar that allows users to make in-browser adjustments to improve their experience. This includes options such as text-to-speech functionality, translation, reading aids, styling and colour contrast adjustments.
AbilityNet provides advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
How accessible this website is
We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:
- Some images may require more descriptive alternative text. We are working to address this. In the meantime, users can contact us to request a full description of images.
- There may be contrast issues in some areas, including certain navigation elements or text overlaid on images. Users can also adjust contrast using the Recite Me toolbar.
- From sample testing, some office-format documents (for example PDF or Microsoft Word files) may not fully meet accessibility standards. We are working to improve this. In the meantime, users can contact us to request documents in an alternative format.

Compliance status
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
- Some images may not have sufficiently descriptive alternative text. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content). We are reviewing and updating image descriptions. When we publish new content, we will ensure images meet accessibility standards.
- Some office-format documents (for example PDF or Microsoft Word files) published prior to 23 September 2018 may not be accessible. The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix documents published before this date if they are not essential to providing our services.
- We are aware that some office-format documents produced since 23 September 2018 may not fully meet accessibility requirements. Please contact us if you require an accessible version.
Live video
We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations. Subtitles or closed captions are available through the YouTube player for all embedded video content.
